Understanding the Symbols of the Theoretical Kabbalah, Lesson 6

Building of MAH & BEN, a Full Explanation of the Sefirot
Prior to understanding the full significance of the relationship of the symbols MAH and BEN, one must first have a comprehensive understanding of the pattern of the ten sefirot themselves. One must understand the sefirot before one can understand the worlds that they emanate and the sefirotic faces (Partzufim) that they form.
The majority of this class is a reading from my book, Basic Kabbalistic Concepts and Terminologies, on the subject of sefirot. What is a sefirah, where does it come from, and why. What is its function. All this is explained to lay the groundwork for our future classes.
